Paul Simon

In July 2012, Paul Simon delivered a mesmerizing performance of 'The Sound of Silence' during a sold-out show at The O2 in Dublin. This date marked the beginning of his European tour, showcasing songs from a career spanning over five decades. Just prior to this live recording, Simon released 'So Beautiful or So What' in 2011, an album that received critical acclaim for its lyrical depth and blending of various musical styles. Interestingly, this performance not only heralded his return to a live setting but also highlighted the enduring nature of his classic work, as 'The Sound of Silence,' originally released in 1964, continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. It’s a beautiful testament to his ability to connect deeply, both through older hits and newer creations that reflect his evolved artistry.
